WIZARD OF OZ PARTY!!!

Our Wizard of Oz party was what you might call a 'homemade' affair. Grandma made the costumes - Rosie was the Lion and Lily the Tinman! The Lion's mane was an epic creation, as Grandma spent many an hour looping and threading wool onto elastic. We did have a Dorothy too, but she got stage fright at the 11th hour - and generally I was a bit of a grumpy Witch that morning for various reasons, so I didn't need a costume.
In the morning we watched the DVD and ate yummy popcorn.....
We made a yellow brick road lined with Munchkin Land plastic flowers (1950s cocktail sticks!). We made a Wizard of Oz garland to hang in the living room..... With scary Flying Monkeys...... Munchkins..... And the Wicked Witch.... Then we set the table - ready for........
WIZARD OF OZ CAKES
Edible red glitter! (to represent the Ruby Slippers) And edible Wizard of oZ toppers too!The kids had great fun making them - but more fun making them magically disappear! We hope you enjoyed yourself at your Oz Party if you took part - if not, we hope you enjoyed a glimpse of ours.

    I'm so impressed with the details of your party! Your kids are Adorable! I hope they had fun. I sure would have liked to have seen Dorothy! I loved the Yellow Brick road. How clever! That mane was great on the lion. Thank you so much for participating in our Wizard of Oz Gala! Twyla

    What a wonderful celebration! Love the Wizard Of Oz garland. The artwork is brilliant. The cupcakes look delicious, and the Lion and Tin Man are the cutest I've ever seen. Kudos to Grandmother for looping all that yarn.

    Best Wishes,
    Kay
